It has just occurred to me - if the web page is using automated
slideshowing, that could be the problem.

I do not run Powerpoint.

And, Firefox does not work so well, since it was downgraded to v57 (I
think it is now at v58 - a further downgrade).

So, I assume that a compatibility problem exuists, between the
slideshow software, which may have been compaible (as many things
were) with Firefox 56, but, like most things, does not work with the
Firefox downgrade to v57 and later.
